Maybe it’s because I have been a Chinese teacher for a long time, but my thinking is stubborn. I have been a calligraphy teacher for two weeks, but as soon as I stepped onto the podium, I couldn't help but forget my identity at this moment.
In this week's writing class, I first taught the students how to write "vertical": hanging needle vertical, hanging dew vertical and short vertical. He taught the writing and usage of three vertical strokes, and also asked everyone to write a set of Chinese characters with hanging needle vertical and hanging dew vertical.
I am in a hurry for Monday’s class and plan to collect my homework after class! As the idea matured in my mind, I was ready to take action three minutes before the school bell rang. Just when I was about to announce my "receipt" homework plan, I suddenly remembered that I am a "calligraphy" teacher, and at this moment, I am teaching everyone to write. There are no exams in my subjects, so I cannot and do not have to force my students to hand in their homework like teachers in other exam subjects. Thinking of this, I "swallowed the words as soon as they reached my lips." Suddenly I realized the change in my identity, and I relaxed my own requirements a little. It is ok if you lead the class and teach them to write. There is no need to be very strict with the students like the Chinese teacher.
I entered Class 81 after the third period on Tuesday, and "exceeded" the school's "seamless connection" requirement for after class time. As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the students were full of excitement and their voices echoed through the sky. When the class bell rang, some students were still whispering. In order to mobilize the students' enthusiasm for learning, I actually read to them "Life Does Not Believe in Tears" written by Director Li of the Teaching and Research Office before starting class. Before I finished reading, I knew that I was "off topic" again. I had no choice but to comfort myself: the writing class and the Chinese class are one family in themselves. The Chinese teacher requires the students to write good calligraphy and the writing teacher requires the students to write good compositions. They should be "sisters". It shouldn't be inconsistent if I ask them to write and listen to compositions.
In class on Wednesday, I accidentally adopted "verbal violence" and "punishment measures". There are a few classmates whose excitement is particularly easy to ignite. They all looked like clowns, grinning and showing all kinds of ugliness. I couldn't stand it any more, so I criticized them indiscriminately. However, "verbal violence" is like scratching an itch, and its effect is minimal. When there are only one or two left that I can't help myself with, I can't bear it anymore and I don't need to bear it anymore. There was really no other way, so I pinched their arms hard through their clothes. Who makes them arrogant in class! Damn it, I blame myself too. It is normal for one or two people to "get distracted" in class. Why should I embarrass them everywhere? What's more, I'm just an ordinary teacher teaching them calligraphy!
In fact, to sum up, it’s just that my thinking is a bit stubborn and I try my best to change my identity, but I can’t adapt to it quickly. Maybe this is a habit! The habits of Chinese language teachers for more than 20 years can't be changed at any time!
